“Your highness?”The guard ask just to be sure of what he heard
“What is the content of the letter?”He yawned
The guard enter the palace and open the wide paper
“Your highness king Veal, I congratulate you on your success. As you know, a king will have a queen that is why I’m writing to you. My daughter Yara will be so pleased to be your first wife and queen…”
“Stop reading!”He yelled and the guard stop reading immediately
“Tell him I’m not ready for marriage”He said and made to leave again but a man and a woman welcome him with argument at the exit
“Your majesty”She bowed
Veal scoffed and roll his eyes before returning to his throne
“My husband here refuse to give me money for food stuff and he always request for food everyday”She reported
‘Can’t you steal from him?’Veal chuckled at his own thoughts
“My king, there is no work I’m trying my best to be a better man”He replied
“There is no work? Huston!”He called one of his guard who appeared almost immediately
“How many job opportunities do you see when you escort priest Nunu?”He said with a raised eyebrows
“Twenty”The guard replied
“Before the evening of tomorrow. I want you to get a job. If he doesn’t get the job, come and report in my palace”He said to the wife
“Thank you my king”They chorused
“Take them to the hall and serve them meal”He said with a smile
Without waiting for a other second, he walk out of the palace to his chamber
“My head hurts”He cried

“You sacred me Gareth. What happened?”Queen Zuriel questioned when she entered
“King Hobby just asked Veal to marry his daughter”He explained
“Wow, what’s his response?”She asked
“He said he is not ready to have any wife”He pouted sadly
“Gareth I know you badly want to become the king but Veal can’t have a wife now. Definitely he will soon get one don’t let us rush things so that we won’t act suspicious”She said and Gareth sighed
“It still feel like a dream, I have been dreaming about this for so long”Gareth wipe his tears
“I will not let this go, I will do anything to get you in that position even if it cost my life I will do anything”She assured
“I can’t still believe that you love Gareth more I don’t think you are my biological mother”Isaac scoffed as he entered
“Yours is still better than mine. I don’t even know if mother still remember that I am her daughter”Ronea said with tears in her eyes
“What is wrong with the both of you? Gareth is your brother!”Queen Zuriel yelled
“we know he is our brother, infact we love him but the fact that you did not see as us as your children…”
“Ronea you are a woman! You don’t need much attention and you Isaac you are the fourth prince what you need is advice from your brother and before you can successfully get that I need to coach him”Zuriel yelled
“I’m a woman right? Lyla and Lima are also women what happened to them?”She yelled
“Don’t compare yourself with those girls, you are much better than them”Zuriel snapped
“No, I’m not better than them…”
“Ronea, go on your knees now!”Gareth commanded
“You want me to go on my knees and do what?”She asked with a raised eyebrows
“I asked you…”Gareth eyes widened when Ronea walk away
“Did she just walk out on me? And you, what are you looking at? Get her!!!!”Gareth yelled at Isaac
“I’m sure your legs are still functioning”Isaac roll his eyes before walking away
Zuriel couldn’t get her mind off Amelia curses, seems she is a strange girl. Her children are slowly going astray

Ronea keep on walking until she is far away from Gareth chamber, her eyes is blurry with tears. She couldn’t see very well, she is still walking with her blurry eyes when she bump on a hard chest
“Ouch!”She touch her forehead and the tears finally roll down from her eyes
Archer stare at her with no emotion and she did the same thing
“Your highness my Princess”He suddenly bowed
Ronea nodded before walking away
“She look devastated”Archer mumbled and he eventually walk away
••••
“You love prince Ivan?”Lima asked just to be sure of what she heard from Lyla
“Yes, he is so cute”She gushed
“Cute? You call that cute? He is very ugly I don’t even think any lady can fall in love with such a ugly creature”Lima snapped
“Ugly creature? I find him attractive or do you have feelings for him? If you you do I will stop crushing on him”Lyla winked
“What? You are making me feel uncomfortable and angry, how can I have feelings for him, you don’t know how much I h@?? that man. I h@?? him with passion!!!!!!!”Lima yelled and Lyla flinched
“I have heard you, you don’t have to take it personal!”Lyla snapped
“I knew it, if not for the fact that you have feelings for that prince. You wouldn’t be staring at him with so much interest. I saw you staring at him at father’s burial”Ronea included
“Are you a spy or something?”Lyla snapped
“Nope, I just want to join your conversation. I’m sure you’d make a great cou….”
“Arrrrrrrrgh”Lima cut Ronea off
They all face her sharply
“What happened?”
“Nothing, I am just testing my voice”She lied and before they could continue their conversation, she started screaming again
••••
<THE FARM>
“Pass me the axe”Amelia said to Vivian who is picking seeds
“Here”She pass the axe and she started digging the ground
She mishandled the axe and her hand slip, the axe started moving to her feet. She stared at the axe in fear just it is about hurting her someone push her away and the axe hit a spot on the ground
“Are you okay?”Lucas asked Amelia who still look shock
“Huh?”Amelia stared at his dressing, that is when she realize he is a prince
“My prince”She move away a little
Lucas smiled and walk to her before grabbing her arm
“Come with me”He winked and started walking out of the farm with her
Sadie watch them until they are out of her sight and she sighed sadly
👥 Why is she going with him?
👥I just h@?? her, especially her eyes
👥Seems the prince like her
👥Prince Lucas is so handsome
“And what are you talking about? Get to work slaves!!!!!”Sadie yelled and they all kept their mouth shut
~~~~
“Thanks for saving me my prince”Amelia said with a secret glare
Lucas ignored her, he keep on staring at her beautiful face. If beauty is a person, she’d the person, she is too beautiful to ignore. From her blue cute eyes, to her long pointed nose, down to her pouted pink small lips. She is the true definition of beauty
“I will take my leave since you have no other thing to talk about my prince”She bowed and made to leave but he grab her arm again
Amelia couldn’t hold back her anger, she jerk his hand off her arm
“Why did you do that?”Lucas asked without thinking
“I don’t think it is right of you to be touching me that way. my prince”She roll her eyes
“Wait, are you talking to a prince like that? Have you forgotten you are just a maid in this village? I can get rid of you with just a snap of finger. What is wrong with you?”Lucas yelled and she flinched
“I’m perfectly okay my prince and I don’t think I deserve all those hurtful words all because I stop you from touching my private part”She snapped
“Private part?”He asked just to be sure of what he heard
“Yes, my arm is my private part”She repeated
“I will leave now. Your highness”She bowed and walk away
Lucas eyes is so wide right now, she just finish snapping at him and she bowed when she is leaving. Who is she?
Lucas thought
••••
<QUEEN EBBE CHAMBER>
“You may leave”Queen Ebbe said to the maids in her room
They just finish massaging her body and she feel a little better, Veal really surprise her. She is the most surprise person when Veal was chosen as the king. She did not even bother asking her ring because she thought the next king is Lucas
“Mother!”Lucas called as he entered her chamber
“I told you not to leave your chamber”She snapped
“Yes, I just left”He lied
“And why does it look like you are coming from the farm?”She questioned
“Mother!! How did you know that? Did you send some guards to spy on me?”He asked but he got no response
“Lucas, I’m going to ask you this question. Do you want to be the king?”
“Mother you know the answer already, I would have be the most happiest person on earth assuming Gareth is the king, but Veal I just h@?? him. He is too pathetic to be a king I wonder if the gods didn’t made a mistake”He shook his head
“Since you are ready, we will start by making him aggressive”She muttered
“Aggressive?”
“Yes aggressive. Watch me”
•••••
Veal is walking around the palace with guards behind him, he is around the farm when he stop walking. He gave a signal to one of the guards to open the door and he did
The scene that welcome him make him mad, he fold his fist angrily as he watch Sadie maltreating Amelia
She kneel down with a heavy brick on her head, there is a stick with fire on her hand
“What is happening here?”He find himself yelling
“Your majesty”They chorused
He ignore them and walk to Amelia before carrying the brick away and be collect the lighted stick
“What happened? What have she done to deserve this kind of punishment?”He asked Sadie who look shock
“She..was..talking bad.. at prince…Lucas”Sadie uttered
“Why are you saying bad words to prince Lucas”Veal frowned
That is the first time Amelia will see him frowning, her first encounter with him, he seems like a gentle and nice person but he is another person entirely now
“He touch my private part”She sniffed and Veal move back a little
“W..h..e..r..e?”Sadie asked
“It is…
“What else did you want her to say? Did you want her to show you her private part? She said he touch her private part? Where else is her Private part located?”He yelled and Sadie flinched
“What did you say after that?”Veal face Amelia
“I told him to stop touching it”She pouted
“Oh my goodness..stand up and follow me”Veal commanded and he started walking toward the exit door
Amelia stick at her tongue at Sadie before running after Veal
‘Is he going to prince Lucas dorm?what do I do?’She thought as she followed him quietly
She intentionally miss a step and scream when she was about falling, she thought Veal is going to help her since they are close to each other but is surprise her when a guard caught her by her waist
“Arrrrrrrrgh”She screamed
“Don’t touch me”She yelled
She is thinking of what to do when she miss another step and she fall on Veal
Due to the force, Veal body collide with a wooden bench beside him
“My king”They chorused and rush to him
“Your cloth is stained”Amelia eyes widened when she realized the bench newly dyed
“I need to change this clothes”He breathe out and branch at his chamber
••••
<VEAL CHAMBER>
Veal made to enter but Amelia grab his hand with a smile
“What?”He snapped
“I caused this, please let me do it”She pleaded
“Remove your hand”He snapped and she drop her hand
They both entered and Veal was surprised when Amelia fall on her knees
“What are you doing”He asked surprisedly
“My king please forgive me, you can punish me if you want but please don’t go to prince Lucas, he did nothing wrong. He only touch my arm he did not touch my private part”She explained
She expect Veal to slap her or even call the guards to lock her up but the opposite of her thoughts happened
“Your arm is also your Private part. You are a woman”
